The engineering is no longer an isolatedfield of human activities and the future role of engineering demands that social, ethical andcultural aspects should be added to the technical dimension of engineering education.

Interestingly, this seems to be an area that is also lacking in the skill set of many manufacturing engineers.• As educators, we have to fight the pressure from industry for more specialized degrees and training for our students. In an environment of continual change and technology development, attempting to try to keep up with the latest and greatest laboratory equipment and manufacturing processes is a losing proposition. We are obsolete before we have even started. Rather

Abstract The introduction of the Texas Instruments TMS320C6713 DSP Starter Kit (DSK) brought a much more capable, stable, and robust DSP development environment to DSP education. However, while the DSK had many improvements over the TMS320C6711 DSK, it did not include any way to transfer data to and from the host computer except through the debugger interface, which is extremely limited in bandwidth and requires that the TI software tools be available. This means that the existing suite of winDSK6 demonstration tools cannot be run on the 6713 DSK, denying educators a valuable teaching and classroom demonstration resource. Also, there is no way to interface an application on the host PC directly to the DSK

While all knowledge is important and useful, engineering education plays a very dominant role in developing knowledge and skills which are vital to the growth and maintenance of knowledge, knowledge-based and knowledge processing industries. Apart from providing specific domain knowledge in different engineering disciplines and producing experts in computer science and engineering, and information communication technologies, all engineering graduates irrespective of their fields of study are given education and training to acquire a reasonable level of competence in problem solving skills, software development, computer applications, modeling and

This approach significantly improved the learningefficiency of the hearing-impaired student, enabling them to perform at a level comparable to theirpeers in software operation and engineering design tasks. The student’s specific feedback andlearning outcomes will be discussed in detail in the subsequent discussion section. The broadersignificance of this work lies in demonstrating the potential of adaptive learning strategies inengineering education, particularly for students with hearing impairments. It highlights thecritical role of inclusivity in technical disciplines and sets a foundation for creating moreaccessible and diverse educational environments.IntroductionAdvancements in educational technology have

This approach was implemented in an Engineering Technologyundergraduate course at a Midwestern university, whose curriculum covered foundational topicsin Energy Science. The task involved designing a zero-energy home using Aladdin software, asan integrated CAD/CAE platform for design and simulation. Students documented their analysis,inferences, and decisions in a design journal with
Enabling afordable industrial robotics education through simulationAbstractExisting industrial robot training software is often too expensive for schools to provide for studentsor for students to acquire on their own. For example, high schools and community colleges maywant to provide students with a basic level of experience with programming industrial robots. Ifthe software is accessible and free, such training software could provide a platform for anyone tolearn more about industrial robotics. In this paper, we describe the development of RobotRun , asoftware package that simulates an industrial robot and teach pendant controller. The softwareallows students to practice basic programming tasks which control the

In this course we spent the majority of the semester learning the MotorolaMC68HC12 instruction set and how to write software algorithms in assembly programminglanguage. The course did spend some time explaining the MCU architecture, but did not fullyillustrate how an MCU is involved in a completed application. Therefore, most students in ourprogram only associated MCUs with complex assembly programming and did not see an MCUas a crucial hardware component in a

Conventional education ofbiotechnology requires a specific place (classroom and laboratory), specialist/educated teacher, textbooks,and considerable investment for experimental devices. Many of the biotechnological experiments are toocostly, too time consuming, too dangerous to be done easily in classroom [7]. They are among thelimitations to the development of biotechnology education via conventional models. Computer based instruction software often reduce the instruction time and students’ motivationis increased [7]. Also, It

The system uses digital video cameras to provide high resolution images at a very highcollection rate. The system is software controlled so as to

LCA software exposed studentsto a powerful tool that can quantify life cycle environmental impacts. This software wasavailable for use in a computer lab on campus: however, other free student versions are alsoavailable for use (e.g., GaBi education software, water energy sustainability tool). Lastly,students were required to produce a YouTube video explaining the results of their project to theclass and the general public. The YouTube
